Chapter 51 Dry, Cold, and Hard Buns



Coo,

Someone's stomach growled again.

"Mom, my stomach hurts."

A little girl's delicate voice was heard from the third room.

"Come on, Qiao Qiao, hold this candied fruit in your mouth first, and then eat this peach cake."

"Oh, Fourth Aunt brought some delicious food."

Su Sinan leaned his chubby body out from behind Song Jinhe and looked over to the third room, where Xia Ping'er was feeding her little daughter Su Qiaoqiao in her arms.

Preserved fruit? Peach blossom cake? Su Sinan's saliva fell.

"Qiao Qiao is a spoiled child, so her mother hangs a cloth bag on her waist every day, filled with all kinds of delicious food."

Su Sinan forgot how to read and sprained his ankle while learning martial arts, but when it came to food and toys, he could tell what was delicious and how to cook it just by taking a glance at it from a distance.

"Mom, I'm hungry too."

There was another timid voice of a little boy in the third room.

"What are you eating? This is a prison, not a restaurant. Do you think your mother is as careful as Aunt Xia?"

Lu Huifen yelled at her grandson.

[Tsk tsk, I've never seen such a stupid woman. ]

Sumi recognized the little boy at a glance.

The book says that the third branch of the Su family is not prosperous. Lu Huifen only gave birth to two sons, and the eldest, Su Chengwen, was the fourth general who died in Yancheng. He had one wife and one concubine. His wife, Qin Juanniang, gave birth to a son, Su Zixi, who had a birthmark on his face and was despised and hated by others. Concubine Xia Ping'er had a daughter, Su Qiaoqiao, who was not Su Chengwen's daughter, but was brought by Xia Ping'er.

The second son, Su Chengliang, has not yet married a wife, but he has a bunch of maids in the house, but they haven't even laid an egg.

Su Mi was amazed. Lu Huifen's train of thought was really incomprehensible.

She didn't like her own daughter-in-law and grandson, but she favored and loved this granddaughter born to a concubine who was a burden.

Why? Sumi searched the plot of the original book in her mind and vaguely remembered a detail.

When Qin Juanniang was pregnant with Su Zixi, someone poisoned her. The fetus was not aborted, and her son was born with a birthmark on his face. Qin Juanniang was unable to have children again.

Lu Huifen kept harassing Qin Juanniang because she couldn't have children. And because this grandson couldn't show his face to others, he naturally couldn't take the imperial examination in the future and couldn't bring honor to the third branch of the family. So she didn't like this grandson. In addition, Lu Huifen didn't like her eldest son in the first place. So she was quite disgusted with the eldest son's family.

She placed all her hopes on her beloved youngest son, hoping that he would marry into a wealthy family and give birth to a bunch of smart grandchildren.

Xia Ping'er was also a woman who knew how to deal with things. After she became Lu Chengwen's concubine and learned about the family situation, she tried her best to curry favor with her parents-in-law. She gave Lu Huifen a lot of food, daily necessities, and good headgear. She also hooked up with Su Chengliang, and they were like a family of mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and uncle.

"Come, Zixi, come to your great-grandmother."

Grandma Lu rolled her eyes at her eldest daughter. She was old, but not confused. She looked down on her eldest daughter, Lu Huifen, for not loving her own grandson but loving the bastard child from her mother-in-law's family. But she was just a mother-in-law living in her son-in-law's house. She had no right to control the Su family's affairs.

Grandma Lu took Su Zixi in her arms and took out a cold, hard steamed bun from her bosom. "Eat it, dear."

The steamed buns were made of white flour, but they were dry, cold and hard, and they would fall apart if you took a bite without any water.

"Grandma, I'm hungry too. You can't just focus on your great-grandson. There's also my own grandson who's starving here."

Su Chengliang held the railing and looked at Grandma Lu with a smile.

"This is for you."

Grandma Lu took out another white flour bun from her arms and handed it to Su Chengliang.

Su Chengliang took the steamed bun with his right hand, but suddenly stretched out his left hand and snatched Su Zixi's steamed bun.

"Dad, eat this."

Su Chengliang gave one to his father and sat down to eat the other one.

Grandma Lu cursed Su Chengliang in a low voice, then took out a steamed bun from her bosom, broke it into two halves, gave one half to Su Zixi, and broke the other half into two halves again, giving half to Lu Huifen and Lu Xianglian each.

Finally, he took out a steamed bun from his arms, and without looking at anyone, he sat there and ate it.

"Grandma, do you have any more? Give me another one."

Su Chengliang raised his face, which had been beaten like a pig's head, and smiled at Grandma Lu.

"No, I put it in my arms during lunch."

[This old lady is over 70 years old, but she still has a mouthful of teeth. She can even chew hard buns.]

Su Mi thought the third family was really interesting. They could turn a big drama out of just eating a few steamed buns.

Hey, a banquet?

Could it be that Grandma Lu's steamed buns were taken away from her eldest brother's wedding banquet at noon?

Oh my god,

Although Grandma Lu is just a paper-thin figure, she has actually learned the essence of modern rural banquets and packing up the food as soon as it is served.

He is a talented person as he still has so many steamed buns left after the body search just now.

Su Mi sighed, thinking that the officers were searching for gold and silver. They didn't care about steamed buns at all.

"It's delicious. I want to eat it too. It's made of white flour. It smells good when it's soft and it smells good when it's hard."

Su Sinan let out a click of his tongue, drooled a little, wiped it off, let out another click of his tongue, and drooled again.

"You want to eat. Your father is so capable, and your grandmother is so powerful, how can they not even get you a steamed bun?"

Su Chengliang ate steamed buns while laughing at Su Sinan.

He even deliberately chewed his buns loudly in front of Su Chengyi who was sitting next to him.

How could a young man in his twenties laugh at a nine-year-old child like this, a child who called him his cousin?

It really destroys my worldview and has no bottom line.

Su Mi couldn't help but turn her head to look at Aunt Qi. If Aunt Qi's inner strength had not been lost, after hearing these words, she would have thrown a brick to knock out Su Chengliang's two front teeth, making him talk like his mother.

"The white flour buns are too hard to chew when they are cold, and they make your teeth ache. Uncle, please chew a small piece and put it in your mouth without swallowing it. Use your saliva to dissolve it for a while before swallowing it, and it will become soft and fragrant."

Su Mi couldn't help but give her third brother a cold look, saying it was really shameless.

He is the third young master of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. He is not treated harshly on weekdays. Look at his body, how can he be so greedy for a hard bun?

He really lives up to his reputation as a little foodie.

"Dad, your teeth are not in good condition, don't swallow so fast. Hold it in your mouth for a while to soften it before swallowing."

Su Chengliang ate and smacked his lips. He looked at Su Sinan who was about to cry with greed and said this to his father Su Quanming on purpose.

Su Quanming sat by the fence, munching on a steamed bun one bite after another without even raising his eyelids.

He knew that the eyes of his concubines were fixed on his back. He ate and secretly put some food into his sleeves. He thought, I will be exiled tomorrow, and the officials will give me black-faced food on the way. I have to save some food and eat it when I get too hungry on the way.

None of the people in the third room are good!

The third brother is so heartless! Madam Su felt cold in her heart for a moment, but she didn't realize it. At this moment, a line of turbid tears flowed from the corners of her dim eyes.

[Grandma, don't cry. As long as I'm here, no one can let you die! ]

Sumi really wanted to reach out her little hand and wipe away the tears from the corners of her grandmother's eyes.
